Home decor giveaway!

**This giveaway is now closed. Winners have been contacted via email.

Well if you’re like me you’re still in a food coma and laying in bed a little extra longer this morning. But if you’re like some of my friends who go out at 1 a.m. (2 a.m.? 4 a.m.? I have no idea, I’m sleeping then) then you are just getting home and going to sleep now.

I much prefer the sleeping in and lounging bit, but either way I’m pretty positive you’ll love shopping from your computer no matter what. I promise you’ll find something you love at Decor Steals:

This is one of my very favorite deal-a-day sites! Unlike many of the others, this one is all decor, all the time and it’s all at an incredible price (up to 85 percent off of retail). My kind of place!! And today marks their third birthday – awww, so sweet!

Here’s a few of my favorites that you’ve seen lately or will see soon at DS!

It’s hard enough to find a pretty wood tray, but to find one that’s round and so ornate?:

Those would look SO cool hanging on a wall in the kitchen too!

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, one of the reasons I love this site is that you’ll find items you’re friends won’t have in their house. (OK, unless your BFF shops them too, like one of mine.) ;)

These angel wings are so unique!:

How beautiful would those be for Christmas?? Maybe spray painted even, or gold leafed? Gorgeous!!

And they never disappoint with items that look like they would have come from a certain “Barn”:

These look so similar to what I see in the catalogs! (For a fraction of the price of course.)

I have a thing with candelabras. I use one over our tub in the bathroom and also outside under our pergola and both are from Decor Steals! It is SO hard to find pretty ones. Stores don’t carry them and most online sources carry really basic versions.

I love this French-inspired candelabra from DS:

Isn’t that lovely?

I love what my friend Marian did with the beautiful mercury glass candleholders from Decor Steals:

Just stunning!!

And I am just giddy about their Black Friday deal – live preserved boxwood wreaths!:

I’m kind of obsessed with the idea of boxwood wreaths this year and was planning on using them in a spot anyway, but they can be SO expensive (usually at least $50 each). These are $29 each and I’m grabbing one!

The deals start at 10 a.m. EST each day, so grab them while you can! They usually have extended deals where you can catch items for a few extra days too.

This weekend Decor Steals is celebrating Black Friday by giving away $100 in credit to one of you, and three preserved boxwood wreaths to three more of you! YAY!! Let the holiday decorating begin!!

I hope you have a lovely holiday weekend! I’m off to eat some pumpkin pie for breakfast.

We actually have not had Thanksgiving yet! :) We are celebrating at my house for the very first time on Sunday. Cooking for my husband, parents and grandparents. Very excited. :) I'll be making mashed sweet potatoes and know I'll be licking the bowl clean! ;)

Well, I cooked up what felt like everything, but when it came time to eat we had all filled up on the cheese and crackers that were meant to just hold us over til dinner. So...we have LOTS of leftovers! ;)

For Thanksgiving I ate green bean almondine, a little turkey, potatoes, homemade cranberry jello sweetened with honey, sweet potatoes, a whole wheat roll, and a small piece of pumpkin pie. I kept my portions small (except for the green beans) due to some stomach issues...

My sister and I had a nontraditional Thanksgiving of Korean bbg ribs, grilled asparagus, Cambodian corn, spicy sweet potato fries, and jalapeno rolls....of course we had to toss an apple pie in there too! :)
